vegan treats hurt my teeth
Danielle Konya’s Bethlehem, Pennsylvania baked-good operation Vegan Treats gets an incredibly glowing little write-up in yesterday’s Washington Post. “The award-winning bombe, also tofu-based, features subtly flavored peanut butter mousse and is coated with a killer Belgian-chocolate shell.”
As the WaPo points out, Vegan Treats do look really amazing (note to self: buy a pastry bag instead of using repurposed [clean!] plastic bags). This is probably why Atlas is always able to pass off last week’s slices as new ones to unsuspecting customers.
But: there is no mention of the cakes’ trans fats. Unless Konya has changed her recipes, these things aren’t gonna be street legal in New York City in two weeks (and I guess D.C. will be getting the surplus). So eat up, kids!

Hi Susie! Thanks for all your hard work. I’m curious where your suspicions of Vegan Treats recipe containing Trans Fats comes from. I am familiar with the recipes and know for a fact that they do not contain trans fats. Let me know and hopefully we can clear up the confusion. THANKS!
Have an awesome day! Mike

Hi Mike. I’ve heard about the trans fats from many sources, but Danielle & Vegan Treats have never responded to any of my e-mails or phone calls requesting a response. I’d love to hear any info you have on the recipes — I promise I won’t share anything with Gianna’s.
